‘Something Is Wrong’ With Liverpool’ –  Arne Slot Admits Ahead Of AC Milan Clash

Liverpool coach, Arne Slot admits “something is wrong” with his team after they lost at home to Nottingham Forest but refuted claims the defeat was down to his lack of rotation.

The Reds won their first three games of the Premier League season without conceding a goal but Callum Hudson-Odoi’s strike was enough to claim all three points for Forest at Anfield on Saturday.

Slot takes his Liverpool side to Milan on Tuesday for their first Champions League game of the season and hopes to put right the “wrong” of the defeat to Forest against a very different proposition.

Speaking to reporters at his pre-match press conference, Slot said: “Not only the journalists were disappointed about the result from us against Nottingham Forest, the team and me were really disappointed. Although we always put it in the right perspective when we beat United, the journalists and us were really positive. Of course, we also saw things we have to improve.

“Last Saturday, we didn’t do many things good as we did against United but there were still a few things that went quite well. But it was a total different game and that’s also for tomorrow, I expected a complete different game against Milan. The type of players they have and the playing style of their manager compared to Nottingham Forest.

“But we should be disappointed if we lose a home game against Nottingham Forest. You play for Liverpool and if you are not disappointed, if you drop points in a home game against Nottingham Forest then something is wrong. Four games nine points, it’s a good start but not a great start because then we would have had 12.”

Slot has made just one change to his starting lineup across the first four games of the new Premier League season, with Ibrahima Konate replacing Jarell Quansah at half-time in the opening game and keeping his place in the team from then on.
